Open Edge 2009

Towards open education in Australian schools – bringing together the local and global

Thank You to all who participated!

Videos of all the sessions are now online, and we are in the process of getting slides or notes from the presenters.

The report from the final session was conducted using the AnyZing team learning system.

9 October 2009 - SCEGGS

This one day forum will address questions and issues about 'open education' in Australian schools. Open education refers to open educational resources, and draws upon open technologies that facilitate collaborative, flexible learning and the open sharing of teaching practices that empower educators to benefit from the best ideas of their colleagues.

The Open Edge Forum will bring together school leaders, practitioners and policy makers to discuss strategies for fostering open education in Australian schools. Understanding and embracing innovations like these will be critical to the future of education in Australia.

Using online technologies, this workshop will be linked into other similar events occurring around the globe. Hear what colleagues in the US, UK and Portugal are doing in their schools using open education initiatives. Presenters will outline current directions in Australia and overseas concerning:

  • open content
  • open source software
  • open learning platforms
  • open licencing
  • open pedagogy
  • open standards
  • open networks
